Sooner the ARU bring in , AND support a competition analogous to the NZ ITM cup , Currie Cup SA , the better.We are not comparing apples with apples here at the moment.

Living in nz watching their provincial rugby u realise they have more quality players and will always field a good teamBut look at what the ABs did this week obviously put the hard yards in to arrive with a great unified performanceLook at the way their backs were always organised and playing fast simple dynamic rugbyWhat excuse can the Aussies have for not trying the same? Turning up disjointed forwards not cohesive, intense or fast enough and backs that don't play fast free flowing but always cut outs pre planned stuff that contributes to disjointed playAus need to put in more effort and this starts at the top follow SA lead if not winning change coach only current coach with cred that he may know what to do is super winner give him a go nowNo more mucking around Enough!

So are we going to succumb to England and Wales in similar fashion before the world cup will begin proper.By the way things are going we are accomplishing nothing.Most of our players are not individually skilled which is why they relay on coaching alone.It seems they just are glued to one spot that the coach has told them rather then at times going that extra mile in support.Are we seeing an end to union at top level if things continue to move in this direction.Do something and get some league guys if thats what it means to win the world cup.When will we start as certain winners before a match.I am absolutely gutted.

Great result for this die-hard AB supporter but make no mistake Wallaby fans, there's a ton of respect for your team too - Israel Folau's - great game

Thank you and congratulations to the All Blacks and their fans.Great rugby to watch. Superb at each aspect of the game and a testimony to the way the game should be played. Well and truelly worlds best, deserved of all the accolades.My wallabies were humbled and tutored .The ref had a reasonable game too, considering the pressure he would have been under. A few mistakes each way but the game was decided by brilliant rugby from the ab's . Well done . From nobody and somebody...Now where did I leave that humble pie ?

How dissapointing. All blacks have knocked us back big time. I watched my old school play recently and their handling and tactics put the Wallabies to shame. Mckenzie has his work cut out now. Wonder if Jake White is still available or better still Cheika.

Boys ( Oz ) against men ( AB's ). McCaw dominated the tackle stats last week and I guess he pretty much did the same again. Good tight forwards win games. Where is Links master plan - was it rain.

Izzy is great with the ball til he gets run down and when he has to do some D.

51 points conceded. Highest score against the Wobblies in a Bledisloe.

The excuses and analysis by the Aussie experts will be fun to watch

I am very disappointed with the Wallabies performance tonight. We were told that McKenzie knew how to beat the All Blacks. The Wallabies under Deans were never this bad against the All Blacks. We are going to go backwards under this coach and we will not progress beyond the group stages at next year's World Cup, while he is still the coach. With the way he undermined Deans and all his cheap talk I expected a whole lot better from the Wallabies. We will be lucky to beat both the Springboks and Argentina in the next few weeks.

Bledisloe 2 - 2013 the score was 41-33. There are 3 conclusions following tonight's game. 1- NZ are better than last year. 2 - Aus are worse than last year. 3 - both 1 and 2. Players let Ewen and themselves down, however I think Ewen also made a mistake with not making major changes. I agree to let the first 15 try and make amends straight after half time but once they muffed their chances at the 46th min, major changes (I.e the whole bench) should have been bought on during the first brake in play before the first AB try of the 2nd half. Next game - Foley to 10, & Sam carter relieved from the squad. SC had poor games in 1 & 2 (poor body height and ball security) and needs to be given time to reconsider his desire to play international rugby. Bledisloe gone for another year and the WC2015 is not looking promising

Shock horror. Team playing national game beats team not playing national game. Seen it all before, sets up a very boring and highly predictable NRC for yet another boring year.

Well done Kiwis, a well drilled professional and skilful outfit.

The signs for Australia were there last week but were covered up by the conditions. The skill level of some of the Australian team need a quantum lift, particularly under the high ball. Genuine speed is needed out wide.

At least the selectors will be forced now to make changes & not be comfortable in playing safe & picking the same team. Higginbottom, Phibbs & Foley all deserve a starting chance. The wings remain a problem

Well what did you expect? But please will someone tell me why Folely did not kick the drop goal from the last scrum last Satuday. Surely the only rule in any sport is to score more points than the opposition!!

So Simmonds gets 10 from a linesman's report from the middle of a ruck but two linesmen, and the ref fail to see a head high tackle on Folau in the middle of the park. Subsequent play is a try to AB's. ( A great one too) However it is essentially a turning point. If Australia had scored or got 3 points then they would have slowed the AB's momentum. How can this happen with all of the technology available.
